My TV was out of order on the first day of Chinese New Year, 真是大吉利是!
Few days before, my DVD player was down.
What can I say, 鸿运当头.
We missed all the good programs during CNY, SIEN!!!!
1 month plus without a TV in our home.
Brought for repair mid of March and finally came back this week.
Now I know, life without a TV is fine for me.
But life without a PC (with Internet connection) then my life will be miserable. ^_^

MY LIFE AT DE-GARDEN (11/1/10 - 7/2/10)
After the discharge from Pearl Maternity Hospital, I was sent to De-Garden Confinement Center for a 1-month stay. At first, I really got home sick although my hubby came to visit me & my baby everyday. Later on, I got used to it already.
My life at the confinement center was quite routine: eat, sleep and feed.
Chinese believes that a lady after delivery cannot take bath for at least 12 days.
We have people cook for us, do the laundry for us and taking care of our babies.
What else can we do at the center?
We have 5 meals per day:
8:30am Breakfast
11:30am Lunch
2:30pm Tea Break
5:30pm Dinner
8:30pm Supper
It's really hard to loose weight during the confinement month and also it's not advisable to be on diet on this particular month.
Chinese will eat a lot of herbs to recover the body and all the herbs are the heaty type.
My body was not used to the heaty herbs so my nose was bleeding a little bit.
This is so called 虚不受补.
This confinement center has wifi provided.
We can go online any time.
However, my hubby only brought me my notebook after 2 weeks.
His concern was I must spend my time to rest for the 1st 2 weeks as he knows that once I go online I'll be spending my time playing games.
He is right actually.
I understand his concern is for my own good.
Luckily I have nice room mates (Seok Foon & Sarah) to chat with, not that boring.
Not only that, I know new friends like Xuang Xuang, Yuet Kit, Josephine, Esther, Xiao Qi.
We had mama talk and stories sharing.
Miss the moment actually.
Another activity for the mothers is suntaning the babies (those who got Jaundice).
See the pictures below.

My Baby 9/1/2010
This day is one of my important day in my life.
After 9 months of pregnancy finally I met my little girl this day.
I was bleeding on the 8/1/2010 around 11:30pm.
Then my hubby took me to the hospital as according to my gynae if I have any sign (bleeding, contraction pain or water bag burst) I need to go to the hospital.
At first was still OK, my mild pain started around 2:00am until 9:30am when the doctor decided to break my water bag to accelerate my delivery.
By then I started to suffer the serious contraction pain.
That was killing me, no kidding.
I can't get a word to explain the pain I was sufferring only the mothers will understand it.
I was sent to the labour room around 1:00pm.
Trying hard to push out the baby but unsuccessful due to no energy after sufferring the pain for more than 10 hours. Then the gynae helped to vacuum out my baby with my push effort.
And finally, my baby was delivered at 2:33pm.
What a big release!!!
My hubby was beside me all the time.
He was so hurt seeing me suffer like this.
I thank him for giving me the supports, love him very much!!!

KIM CHI STEAMBOAT (2/1/2010)
We were having steamboat lunch on the 2nd day of 2010.
Nothing special to celebrate but to try out the Kim Chi steamboat.
We invited a few friends to have the steamboat together.
Normally we'll have 2 types of soup base, chicken/vegetable soup or Tom Yam.
This time we put Kim Chi instead of Tom Yam.
We were having Korean Chef Kim Chi for the soup.
It was spicy enough for our taste bud.
Yummy!
You may also try Kim Chi steamboat during the Chinese New Year reunion dinner as the CNY is around the corner.
For those who would like to try out the Korean Chef Kim Chi, please do not hesitate to leave a message.

NEWAY KARAOKE IN PENANG (30/12/09)
I went to Queensbay Mall today and noticed a huge banner hanging in the mall.
Neway Karaoke is opening soon in Queensbay Mall Penang.
It's a good news for the people staying near this area.
Somemore, at least now there is a strong competitor to Red Box Karaoke coming in Penang.
We have more choices and it won't be monopolized by Red Box.
It's a pain for us staying this area to travel all the way down to Gurney with the sickening jam.

EARTHQUAKE IN MALAYSIA (1/12/09)
This is what I heard from MYFM this morning.
Then I search from the Internet about this news.
Malaysia is no longer a safe zone.
Last year a friend of mine told me that her dad said in 1 or 2 decade the tectonic plate will slowly move toward to Malaysia.
And I think it is possible but never thought it happens so soon.
